Randy Kimmens, advisor to the disbanded government, said its meetings had degenerated into "bickering, arguing and carrying on" among students, and were counterproductive.

Weber State student Peter L. Avion and his sister Electra D. Paskett donated 71 instruments appraised at approximately $4,500 remaining from the settlement of their father's estate.

"I told them the donation would be contingent on them paying the shipping costs of the instruments from California to here." Avion said he approached Dr. Ronald Wooden, chair of the Department of Performing Arts, early last fall. "He expressed to me the department would be more than happy to receive the donation but he was unsure if they would have the funds to pay the shipping costs."

"Since the donation was going to benefit the students I figured SFAC was the natural place to go for the necessary funds," Avion said.

He said she was receptive and encouraged him to prepare a proposal for the committee, which he did. The committee okayed and allocated the funds.
